why don't you pay more taxes, so at least you are not undertaxed?

Your source (yankeecommentary) is the website of a 17-year-old boy. Sorry, but someone that age, liberal or conservative, doesn't know nearly enough about life to express an opinion based on experience and education worthwhile enough to be taken seriously.

No, just the top 1% of the population in the U.S. is undertaxed. Most Americans, including yourself, are overtaxed.
I'd like to see the personal income tax eliminated for the salary man. Let's tax business, proprietorships, and partnerships, and corporations. Better yet, tax carbon emissions and save the world.
Unfortunately, monied interests control our system.

Frankly I find it astonishing that an obvious supporter of the Bush League can object to spiralling deficits and higher taxes to pay them off. Are you totally unaware of what your President has done?
Liberals may be addicted to throwing money at social problems, but what have the Conservatives done differently? Clinton was far more fiscally prudent than Bush, and the figures scream that at us every day.
Those of us who disdain labels, and make up our minds issue by issue and candidate by candidate, are so tired of Republican fiscal irresponsibility that we are going to hold our noses and vote for anybody else. If the outcome is going to cost us whatever happens, at least we can get rid of the vicious badmouthing brutes who run things now.
These bozos make Nixon and Harding look good. Shame on you for being their lickspittle.

Millions of children in America do not have healthcare.
The United States spends considerable more on health care that any other industrialized country.
The United States also spends the highest proportion of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) - on health care.
Health insurance premiums in the United States have had double-digit rate increases for four consecutive years, five times greater than both inflation and wage increases.
The U.S. ranked 37th out 191 member states in terms of “overall health system performance” in the World Health Organization’s (WHO) 2000 World Health Report.
The U.S. has the 7th highest infant mortality rate of the 30 most industrialized countries; only Hungary, South Korea, Mexico, Poland, Turkey, and the Slovak Republic perform worse than the U.S.
Both U.S. patients and physicians have substantial levels of dissatisfaction with the quality of the health system
Something is wrong with our health care system, why can't you see that?

I doubt anyone thinks they are undertaxed unless they are a blithering idiot.

The libs do pay more taxes. Why do you think they call Massachusetts "taxachusetts?" The majority of states with the highest taxes are "blue" states.
Just as an aside, those are also the states with the best public schools, lowest divorce rates, and lowest welfare rates.

Americans are under taxed if you look at the rest of the world.
However, Americans, are by far over taxed since few of us ever benefit from how our money is being spent in the first place.

Most Americans feel that the super-rich and corporations are not taxed enough.
FACT.
